Fully resourced and ready-to-teach 1 hour lesson which introduces students to poetry analysis of the poem ‘The Lesson’ by Roger McGough.

This lesson includes:
- Differentiated learning outcomes
- Copies of the poem with a glossary (in both word and pdf formats - for editing or printing).
- A scaffold to prompt students to consider the effect of poetic techniques (in word and pdf).
- An answer key for teachers to facilitate class discussion.
- Structured peer assessment.
